Luminary: Amit Goswami

Amit Goswami, Ph.D. One of the rare scientists that appear in the film "What the Bleep do we Know", and one of the few who do not leave out consciousness in explaining quantum physics. Professor of physics at the Institute of Theoretical Sciences at the University of Oregon and author of numerous scientific papers and several books.

A teacher of physics for 32 years, he thought to ask a different question:  "What agency converts possibility into actuality?"  His pondering and research over the next few years brought the new way of doing science and many answers.   Consciousness, not matter, is the ground of all existence...the universe is self-aware and that consciousness creates the physical world.   Dr. Goswami calls the new paradigm "monistic idealism," with it the paradoxes of quantum physics are explainable, as is choice, free will, the unconscious, healing and creativity, and spiritual growth.

Dr. Goswami's books include Self-Aware Universe: How Consciousness Creates the Material World and Physics of the Soul: The Quantum Book of Living, Dying, Reincarnation & Immortality.
